At this time Ian Maksin sings in 43 languages including Ukrainian, Russian, English, Farsi, Armenian, French, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew, Mongolian, Bambara (one of the tongues spoken in West Africa) and many other exotic languages. Most of this repertoire was amassed by Maksin during his world travels, jam sessions and collaborations with local musicians. Many of his original songs and instrumental compositions are also infused with flavors of ethnic music from countries and regions where he drew inspiration from: Mongolia, West Africa, Middle East, the Balkans, Andalusian flamenco.THE GLOBAL MUSICIAN: Ian Maksin was born in the former USSR into a multinational family and grew up absorbing many cultures and traditions from an early age. He began playing guitar and piano at age 3 and cello at age 6 at the School for Gifted Children in Leningrad and then came to the USA at 16 to continue studies at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. After working for many years in the classical genre including a three-year tenure with the New World Symphony in Miami Ian has decided to look for his own musical path. His diverse musical experience, including playing rock and blues guitar and passion for jazz and world music has allowed him to take the cello to a new dimension and develop his own distinct style as a musician and composer. In Ian's own words: "At some point I realized that music is much more than mere entertainment. Music is one of the most powerful and unifying forces in the world, capable of healing, inspiring, bringing people together and bringing peace among them. I believe that cello will save the world”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmqD7zg9Huc https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/9b6cf9f0-6d8e-11f1-b2b1-8fb527b733a7-rimg-w1108-h740-dc030208-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/9badac70-6d8e-11f1-b2b1-8fb527b733a7-rimg-w1110-h740-dc141718-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/9becb140-6d8e-11f1-b2b1-8fb527b733a7-rimg-w736-h740-dc121116-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/ian-maksin-back-in-chicago/100001989714599930 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Music, Entertainment, Art, Meetups, Concerts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Art of Gallery - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 28.52, max: 28.52, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Chicago - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: Art of Gallery - **lat**: 41.871736 - **long**: -87.6858955 - **full address**: Art of Gallery, 747 Western Ave, Chicago, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: IAN MAKSIN: Back in Chicago! - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/4bfc8a0c3012a2319aa7ea630b8efec4503431bd4127cc249e3fa8fa825ecf7c-rimg-w720-h1080-dc151413-gmir.jpg?v=1778959855 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is IAN MAKSIN: Back in Chicago! being held? - **A:** IAN MAKSIN: Back in Chicago! takes place on Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Art of Gallery, 747 Western Ave, Chicago, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing IAN MAKSIN: Back in Chicago!? - **A:** IAN MAKSIN: Back in Chicago! is organized by IAN MAKSIN PRODUCTIONS. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
